Fuel efficiency

The energy lost when a tyre is in motion is known as 'rolling resistance'. This has a direct impact on fuel consumption.
A tyre's rolling resistance score ranges from A to G. Over the life of the tyre, fitting an A rated tyre could save you up to 6 litres of fuel when compared to a G rated tyre.

Wet grip

A tyre's wet grip capacity is expressed in Grades from A to G.
The difference in braking distances between each grade is roughly 3m - an average car length. This makes average stopping distance between an A and G rated tyre 18m. That's 4 car lengths.

Noise level

The exterior noise grade of a tyre is expressed in decibels - accompanied by one, two or three sound waves, with one wave being the best noise level performance.
To achieve the best grade, a tyre’s noise level must be at least 3dB under the legal limit set by the EU.

Features and Benefits

The Twaron® Belt@- The Twaron® belt ensures greater stability when driving at high speeds. - Its variable tension grips the centre of the tread more tightly than the shoulders, therefore the force is evenly distributed for a smoother ride performance and even tread wear.

Dual Compound Technology- Two different rubber compounds are used between the outer and inner sides of the tread. - Outter side: Carbon black-reinforced elastomer derived directly from the Le Mans 24 Hour Race provides extreme endurance. - Inner side: latest generation of elastomers with exceptional wet grip to mould themselves to the smallest irregularities in the road surface and standing water.

Variable Contact Patch 2.0- Whether you're accelerating in a straight line or cornering at high speed, you still get optimum grip. The variable contact patch 2.0 eables the forces to be distributed evenly over the contact patch.
